Intro.: | (G) | (C) | x 2
I'm (G)chasin' down a memory of the way that things used to be

I'm (G)lookin' for something, I (D)ain't seen in a while (C)
I'm (G)lookin' for a factory where a man can feed his family
Not (C)worried about them movin' it south, closin' the doors and shuttin' her down to-(G)morrow
I'm (D)lookin' for (C) A-(G)merica
(Chorus)
The (G)land of the free and the home of the brave seems like I just woke up one day
And it was (C) gone, long (G)gone
But I (F)know in my heart it's still out there, can (C)somebody please tell me where
I'm (G)lookin' for (D) A-(C)merica
I'm (G)searchin' for an old church steeple where inside you'll find people
Who (C)live their lives unashamed and they ain't afraid to say God's name out-(G)loud
Yeah, I'm (D)lookin' for (C) A-(G)merica

Inst.: | (Bm) | (C) | (D) | (D) |
I'm (G)out here lookinf for the truth, a few folks to waive the red, white and blue

Yeah, we've got to (D)find it, (C) 'cause we're (D)lookin' for (C)
(Chorus)
The (G)land of the free and the home of the brave seems like I just woke up one day
And it was (C) gone, long (G)gone
